    abstract = {Niccolò Machiavelli’s political thoughts are based on a specific understanding of time. Whoever wants to make use of his conclusions must therefore be aware of his premises in order not to run the risk of misinterpreting them. Even if the Florentine does not develop an explicit theory of time, statements about the meaning of time can
be found implicitly in his entire oeuvre. In three steps, this article will present the main features of Machiavelli’s understanding of time, an explanation of the significance of time in contemporary politics, and an answer to the question ‘How to proceed with Machiavelli and his political thoughts?’ With regard to his understanding of time, Machiavelli’s
political thoughts will not be presented as a guide for the challenges of contemporary politics but as a distorted reflection of a distant mirror.},
